The principle of said method sees following.Mouth cavity fluid is also upwards moved along measuring inspection test-strips by wicks by matrix.It is by conjugate rehydration, such as try erythroid protein A-colloidal gold reagent on bar, and the IgG in sample is combined with conjugate and forms IgG/ conjugate compound.Described IgG/ conjugate compound continues upwards to move along examination bar, and the detection zone first arrived containing specificity combinating reagent in inspection test-strips, wherein said specificity combinating reagent can be combined with target analyte specifically, and compound is fixed in detection zone and occurs signal, such as erythroid have colo(u)r streak.This Indicator Reaction or positive findings.Do not have signal designation sample not containing target analyte in detection zone and form non-reacted or negative findings.IgG/ conjugate compound continues upwards to move until it arrives check plot along measuring examination bar.The second capture agent is contained in check plot, such as, be fixed on the Goat anti human F (ab ') in the line measuring inspection test-strips
2igG fragment.Remaining IgG/ conjugate compound and immobilization F (ab ')
2fragment combines, and occurs signal, and such as erythroid have colo(u)r streak.The appearance of this signal is the normal work of test and contains the evidence of IgG.No matter sample is reactive or non-reacted for target analyte, is carrying out all having signal to occur in check plot between all effective detection periods.Sample continues through check plot migration and enters final absorption pad, and it helps pull IgG/ conjugate compound by examination bar and remove any background color.
In this regard, the sample divider that can be used for this test can from oral collection oral mucosa exudate, and known described oral mucosa exudate has the higher diagnostic IgG needed for other products (for example, see U.S. Patent No. 5,103,836).In fact, in a preferred embodiment, the gatherer for this mensuration is ready-made untreated polyester swab, i.e. Texwipe LargeAlpha Swab, TX714A (Texwipe Inc., Upper Saddle River NJ).

In another preferred embodiment, the method is also included in the step of taking out potpourri sample (aliquot) between step (b) and step (c).In a specific embodiment, the volume of described sample is 200 μ l.
When proper operation, continuation is combined markd antibody coupling matter by the second capture agent, until unconjugated labeled antibody conjugate is consumed totally, or the second capture agent is saturated.Because even contain endogenous IgG from the mammiferous mouth cavity fluid sample of health, and with the molar weight of the labelled reagent of the label coupling molar weight preferably greater than immobilized antigen, the antibody coupling matter of mark should always can be used in conjunction with the second capture agent, produces signal at control line.Therefore, the signal designation that can't detect control line or the human IgG lacking q.s are to produce object line, or inspection test-strips defectiveness, or examination bar misoperation.
Typically, after described inspection test-strips inserts mouth cavity fluid, can be observed label signal, more preferably between 15 to 45 minutes, most preferably between 15 to 30 minutes between 15 to 60 minutes.Detection start after early than 15 minutes or be later than 60 minutes read testing result may to the result made mistake.The signal produced by colored labels as above directly can be detected from inspection test-strips without processing further usually.Fluorescent marker may need photofluorometer to detect.In method well-known to those skilled in the art, use silver salt solution can strengthen the signal produced by metal-sol label.Similarly, when using enzymes, label must with the substrate contact of enzyme marker, can product be detected to produce.Therefore, these Enhancement Method deviate from the conventional single stage method mensuration adopting coloured particle label and colloidal sol to carry out, because matrix must contact with imaging liquid (silver salt or substrate solution) before certification mark thing.
In a most preferred embodiment, the invention provides a kind of inspection test-strips, it contains recombinant protein or the synthetic peptide of the immune determining area representing HIV-1 gp41 and HIV-2 gp36 envelope protein, and Goat anti human IgG F (ab ')
2fragment antibody prize procedure contrasts, and they are respectively fixed on the nitrocellulose filter of detection zone and check plot.
Fig. 1 illustrates the program that mouth cavity fluid fast immune chromatographic according to a preferred embodiment of the invention detects, and wherein Fig. 1-1 to 1-15 illustrates the step of detection.For testing, with the gums up and down of polyester swab wiping object, then described swab be placed in test tube about 1000 μ l mouth cavity fluid sample buffer (the 0.15M sodium chloride of pH7.2+/-0.2 potassium phosphate buffering, 0.1%Triton X-100,15% hot deactivation chicken serum, 30 μ g/ml affinity elements, 0.2%Tween 80,0.2%Tetronic T-904 and 0.0285% (active component) ProClin 950) and mix at test tube.Extrude the fluid in swab and discard, 200 these sample mixture of μ l are transferred to clean tube to measure.Mensuration examination bar is put into the test tube containing 200 μ l sample mixture vertically.When the sample diluted upwards moves along mensuration examination bar, it makes blush protein A-colloidal gold reagent rehydration on examination bar, and in sample, IgG is combined with albumin A/colloid gold particle and forms IgG/ conjugate compound.Described IgG/ conjugate compound continues upwards to move along examination bar, first arrives the detection zone (the HIV antigen that can be combined with ANTI-HIV DRUGS is contained in described detection zone) that measures examination bar and the antigen line being fixed in detection zone occurs erythroidly having colo(u)r streak.This Indicator Reaction or positive findings.The intensity of line is not proportional with the antibody amount that exists in sample.Lack in detection zone and have colo(u)r streak indicateing arm originally not containing ANTI-HIV DRUGS.IgG/ conjugate compound continues upwards to move until it arrives check plot along measuring examination bar.Check plot contain be fixed on measure examination bar reach the standard grade in Goat anti human F (ab ')
2igG fragment antibody.Remaining IgG/ conjugate compound and immobilization F (ab ')
2fragment combines, and occurs erythroidly having colo(u)r streak.The appearance of control line is the evidence detecting normal operation and contain IgG.No matter the antibody of sample to HIV-1 or HIV-2 is reactive or non-reacted, all will occur in check plot carrying out blush control line between all effective detection periods.Sample continues to migrate through check plot and enters final absorption pad, and described absorption pad helps pull IgG/ conjugate compound by examination bar and remove any background color.Mensuration examination bar being introduced in dilution sample 20 minutes but after being no more than 45 minutes, make an explanation to result.Detection start after early than 20 minutes or be later than 45 minutes read testing result may to the result made mistake.Remaining dilute sample can be used for other and detects, such as authenticity test.
The result that Fig. 2 three kinds of illustrating that mouth cavity fluid fast immune chromatographic according to a preferred embodiment of the invention a detects are possible, wherein Fig. 2 A, 2B and 2C represents feminine gender, the positive and invalid result respectively.
Fig. 2 A shows non-reacted result, wherein only occurs single line in check plot, points out and lack active anti-HIV-1 or AntiHIV1 RT activity-2 antibody in mouth cavity fluid sample.This testing result is interpreted as HIV antibody feminine gender.
Fig. 2 B shows reactive result, and wherein detection line and control line all occur, namely in inspection test-strips, two lines appear at detection zone and check plot respectively.In these lines one comparable another is darker.Reactive result means and in mouth cavity fluid sample, anti-HIV-1/2 antibody detected.It is positive that this testing result is interpreted as preliminary HIV antibody.
Fig. 2 C shows null result, does not wherein have control line in check plot.Even if there is detection line in detection zone, result is also invalid.Invalid test should adopt new inspection test-strips to carry out repeated test.
Above-mentioned embodiment can design with alternative, and it comprises substituting label outside aurosol.Such as, other label includes but not limited to element or metal-sol such as selenium, silver, iron or carbon, other Beads such as colored latex, liposome and dyed particles.Energy specificity is caught other first capture agent of antibody in mouth cavity fluid sample and is included but not limited to the antibody of anti-IgM or IgA; Protein G, or concanavalin A.Second capture agent also can be mixed with and include but not limited to alternative part, such as albumin A or Protein G.
In the 4th, the invention provides the kit analyzing thing for detecting mouth cavity fluid, it comprises above-mentioned disposable lateral flow immunochromatography inspection test-strips.Inspection test-strips is closed in dry container.Each kit optionally comprises sample buffer, mouth cavity fluid gatherer, provides the package insert of appended inspection test-strips operation instruction, is equipped with for the tubule of the positive and negative control of inspection test-strips being carried out to quality inspection, the timer that can be used for determining when mensuration of the present invention completes and/or bio-hazard product container handling.
In a preferred embodiment in this regard, sample buffer is the solution of pH7.2+/-0.2 potassium phosphate buffering, and it is also containing 0.15M sodium chloride, 0.1%Triton X-100,15% hot deactivation chicken serum, 30 μ g/ml affinity elements, 0.2%Tween 80,0.2%Tetronic T-904 and 0.0285% (active component) ProClin 950.
Although for knowing and being convenient to understand, the mode of explanation and example describe in detail foregoing invention by way of example, but it is apparent to those skilled in the art, according to instruction of the present invention, can make a variety of changes it and revise and without prejudice to the spirit and scope of claims.
Except diagnosing except HIV by detecting HIV antibody in mouth cavity fluid, the present invention easily can be configured for the diagnosis of many illnesss, and these illnesss need to carry out immune detection to the analysis thing in mouth cavity fluid.Especially easily use concept of the present invention to be used for sexually transmitted disease to detect, such as syphilis antibody and hepatitis virus antibody.
